The pope is dead and I feel free to start writing my own bible – the holy Beer Brewing Bible! What the hell?

As you might know, alcohol is quite expensive in Sweden. While I would never ever drink beer out of cans in Germany, I got really used to it here in Umea. But still, a single can costs at least 10 SEK (approx 1.10 EUR), which is twice the price of a reasonable bottle in Germany. So why not producing your own booze?

My father felt sympathy with me and gave me a do-it-yourself “brewage set” as a Christmas present last year. It contains a heavy tin including the beer concentrate (enough for 20 liters), a small packet of brewer’s yeast and a detailed instruction manual.

And now, the time has come to start the endeavor. Everything is prepared to turn water into beer. The process will last a couple of weeks and I will report on the progress continuously. I have therefore created the new category My little Brewery. The posts will be numbered and marked with BBB, which is short for Beer Brewing Bible.

I hope I can enjoy my brewage at the fabulous Brännbollsyran at the end of May. If you see me then, feel free to ask for a sample!
